1 PORTABLE LADDER SAFETY PROGRAM REGULATORY STANDARD: OSHA - 29 CFR Portable Wood Ladders* - 29 CFR Portable Metal Ladders* - 29 CFR * *The above standards are intended to prescribe the rules and establish the minimum requirements for this topic. Additional mandated standards (i.e. ANSI) may apply depending on the scope of operations at the company. BASIS: Ladders are a major source of injuries and fatalities. OSHA estimates that there are approximately 25,000 injuries and as many as 35 fatalities each year due to falls from stairways and ladders. Most of these accidents can be prevented if proper safety precautions are initiated. This poses a serious problem for exposed workers and their employer. The OSHA regulatory standards governing stairs and ladders establish uniform requirements to ensure that the hazards existing in U.S. workplaces are evaluated, safety procedures implemented, and that the proper hazard information is transmitted to all affected workers. GENERAL: The company will ensure that all potential hazards regarding ladders within our facility or job sites are evaluated. This safety program is intended to address comprehensively the issues of evaluating and identifying potential deficiencies, evaluating the associated potential hazards, communicating information concerning these hazards, and establishing appropriate procedures and protective measures for employees. 1.

2 Portable Ladder Safety Program 1. Purpose. Effective implementation for the safe use of ladders requires a written safety program fully endorsed and advocated by the highest level of management within our company. This safety program is designed to establish safe use and handling requirements and will be communicated to all required personnel. It encompasses the total workplace regardless of the number of workers employed or the number of work shifts. The company will review and evaluate this safety program: 1.1 On an annual basis 1.2 When changes occur to the governing regulatory standards 1.3 When facility operational changes occur that require a revision of this document 2. Scope. This program applies to the total workplace, regardless of the number of workers, work shifts or numbers and types of ladders used. 3. Responsibilities. 3.1 Management and Supervisors: Procure the appropriate type of portable ladders Ensure employees are trained (as needed or required) in the inspection techniques used to inspect ladders and in the safe use of ladders (proper pitch, angle and hazard awareness) Ensure ladder inspections are performed (daily or pre-use checklist, and thorough periodic inspection) Ensure ladders are properly repaired in accordance with regulatory standards or properly disposed of when they are found to be defective or are removed from service 3.2 Employees: Inspect ladders daily or before each use if ladders are not used daily DO NOT USE ladders that have not passed inspection Notify management or Supervisors if ladders are found to be defective and promptly tag them with a DO NOT USE sign and remove them from service Portable Ladder Safety Program Page 2 of 8
3 3.3 Safety Officer (as needed or required): 4. Procedure Train employees in ladder inspection techniques Provide recommendations for procurement, repair and disposal of ladders. 4.1 General Requirements. All facilities and equipment owned by the company will be maintained in a safe and healthful manner. Certain work conditions may contain a reasonable probability of injury that can be prevented by proper maintenance and supervision. The company will do all possible to ensure the safety of our employees. No employee will knowingly be subjected to a hazardous condition without all possible protective measures first being implemented. 4.2 Fiberglass/Wooden Ladders Safety Policy. To insure safety and serviceability the following precautions concerning the care and use of fiberglass/wooden ladders will be observed: Fiberglass/wooden ladder care. The following safety precautions will be observed in connection with the care of fiberglass/wooden ladders: Ladders will be maintained in good condition at all times, the joint between the steps and side rails will be tight, all hardware and fittings securely attached, and the movable parts will operate freely without binding or undue play Metal bearings of locks, wheels, pulleys, etc., will be frequently lubricated Frayed or badly worn rope will be replaced Safety feet and other auxiliary equipment will be kept in good condition to ensure proper performance Ladders will be inspected frequently and those which have developed defects will be withdrawn from service for repair or destruction and tagged or marked as "Dangerous, Do Not Use." Rungs should be kept free of grease and oil Fiberglass/wooden ladder use. The following safety precautions will be observed in connection with the use of fiberglass/wooden ladders: Portable rung and cleat ladders will, where possible, be used at such a pitch that the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is one-quarter of the working length of the ladder (the length along the ladder between the foot and the top support). The ladder will be so placed as to prevent slipping, or it will be lashed, or held in position. Ladders will not be used in a horizontal position as platforms, runways, or scaffolds. Portable Ladder Safety Program Page 3 of 8
4 Ladders for which dimensions are specified should not be used by more than one person at a time or with ladder jacks and scaffold planks where use by more than one person is anticipated. In such cases, specially designed ladders with larger dimensions of the parts should be procured Portable ladders will be so placed that the side rails have a secure footing. The top rest for portable rung and cleat ladders will be reasonably rigid and will have ample strength to support the applied load Ladders will not be placed in front of doors opening toward the ladder unless the door is blocked, locked, or guarded Ladders will not be placed on boxes, barrels, or other unstable bases to obtain additional height Ladders with broken or missing steps, rungs, or cleats, broken side rails, or other faulty equipment will not be used, ladders having any of these conditions present will be destroyed and disposed of. Improvised repairs will not be made Short ladders will not be spliced together to provide long sections Ladders made by fastening cleats across a single rail will not be used Ladders will not be used as guys, braces, or skids, or for other than their intended purposes Tops of ordinary stepladders will not be used as steps On two-section extension ladders the minimum overlap for the two sections in use will be as follows: Size of Ladder (in Feet) Overlap (in Feet) Up to and including 36 3 Over 36 up to and including 48 4 Over 48 up to and including Portable rung ladders with reinforced rails will only be used with the metal reinforcement on the under side No ladder should be used to gain access to a roof or elevated work area unless the top of the ladder is extended at least 3 feet above the point of support All portable rung ladders will be equipped with non-slip bases when there is a hazard of slipping. Non-slip bases are not intended as a substitute for care in safely placing, lashing, or holding a ladder that is being used upon oily, metal, concrete, or slippery surfaces. Portable Ladder Safety Program Page 4 of 8
5 The bracing on the back legs of step ladders is designed solely for increasing stability and not for climbing. 4.3 Portable Fiberglass/Wooden Ladders. In order to ensure safety under normal conditions of usage, the company will purchase and maintain portable fiberglass/wooden ladders that conform to the following minimum requirements for the construction, care, and use of common types of portable fiberglass/wooden ladders General requirements Materials. All fiberglass/wooden parts will be maintained free from sharp edges and splinters; sound and free from accepted visual inspection from shake, wane, compression failures, decay, or other irregularities Step spacing. Must not be more than 12 inches. Steps will be parallel and level when the ladder is in position for use Side rail width. The minimum width between side rails at the top, inside to inside, must not be less than 11 1/2 inches. From top to bottom, the side rails must spread at least 1 inch for each foot of length of stepladder Metal spreaders/locking devices. A metal spreader or locking device of sufficient size and strength to securely hold the front and back sections in open positions must be properly maintained for each stepladder. The spreader must have all sharp points covered or removed to protect the user Portable stepladders. Stepladders longer than 20 feet will not be used. Stepladders of one of the following types specified will be used: Type I--Industrial stepladder, 3 to 20 feet for heavy duty, such as utilities, contractors, and industrial use Type II--Commercial stepladder, 3 to 12 feet for medium duty, such as painters, offices, and light industrial use Type III--Household stepladder, 3 to 6 feet for light duty, such as light household use Portable rung ladders Single ladder.
